hello and help

bigcol

Hi

I am 52 years old and was only diagnosed with Aspergers 3 years ago, the diagnosis has helped me understand many of the problems I have faced in life.

I have been given a 'health passport' from my local NHS Trust and would appeciate any advice in filling it is. I am supposed to say what help I need when attending hospital or being admitted.

I do not function well in groups, or when  I dont know th esurroundings, hospitals are something of a phobia, I cnnot cope in h]busy witing rooms or wards where tere are kot of people.

If any body is willing to buddy me to fill in this passport I would be very grateful

  • Hello

    I have just had a look through that and I can understand your problem. I think most of it is not really relevent to you or generally to people with Aspergers so it would be hard to fill in. You clearly have things to write which are not asked about and much of it is asking about things you have no issues with (such as mobility-unless you have aditional problems as well as Aspergers which you do not mention) Do you have to use it? 
    If not I would consider making your own. I think the first bit is okay, with your details in it but I would create my own version that was relevent to me and use that instead.

    I did an 'about me' for when I started collage last september. I do not think they used it much but I have experience of creating such a thing and I think it could help you here. Basiclly it has different sections in it. Such as in lessons, out of lessons and all the time. Then it includes things I partikually like, dislike or any helpful information. I did not do it all at once, but thought about it while I was still in school and used the things I knew to write what would help if I was somewhere similar but different. Could you do something similar to me but relating to care or being in hospital?

    Hope some of this helps. Feel free to ask any more questions about anything
